The combination of Buffalo's home record of 6-9-1, and Buffalo's issues with finishing their scoring chances, are leaving many Buffalonians with a pessimistic outlook on tonight's game at HSBC Arena.
The way that Buffalo can squeak one or two points out of tonight's game is by keeping gritty wingers like Milan Lucic out of the front of the net, using the body on softer “pass first” ...

After missing the first twenty three games Marc Savard returned to center a line with Tyler Seguin and Michael Ryder on his wings and oh boy did the Bruins find their offense. Seven different goal scorers (Krejci scored twice) helped two Lightning goaltenders get their necks sunburned from all the red lights shining behind them.
The first period was a close, chippy period. Shawn Thornton was ve...

It will be Thomas (again) vs Mike Smith in net…Definitely ride that horse right now.
Marc Savard taking warmups as well. Skating looks pretty good and his passing looks good as well.
No official word from the Bruins at this point in regards to the Marco Sturm trade to the Kings but off the record I am being told it's going to happen pending a physical.
Be sure to look for Matt Preston's t...

While the Patriots and the Celtics both enjoyed wins this past week, the Bruins were only lucky enough to celebrate one victory. With nothing going on in the world of the Red Sox either all focus was put towards these three teams especially on Thanksgiving day with the Patriots playing on the holiday for the first time since 2002.
The New England Patriots
Like I said before, the Patriots enjoye...

This was one of my “Top 10 Games” I wanted to see this year. I like how the Kings have been built and their style of play. Also, I'm hoping it will be a treat to watch drew Doughty on the back line for LA.
As many puckheads know by now, the hockey world lost a true character yesterday. Pat Burns was the ultimate fighter but his fight with cancer ended yesterday. He couldn't beat can...

It was another slow start for the Boston Bruins, but it was also another strong outing for goaltender Tim Thomas, who turned a 34 save performance into a 3-2 Bruins win over the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night. The win runs Thomas’ record to 10-1 this season.
Thomas has been the story of the young season for the Boston Bruins. After struggling in 2009-2010, a seas...

The truly good teams, championship caliber teams, are teams that are always good when it counts. Always capable of getting a goal when they need a goal. After sitting on my couch watching the Bruins play the last few days, that is something that scares me about this team.
Yes, the Bruins are a solid team. The stats they have put up to this point in the season are proof, but with their 3-0 win o...

A week of ups and downs come to a close for Boston sports. New and old faces came to both the Red Sox and Patriots this week, while the Celtics racked up a few more wins. The Bruins suffered their worst week of the season to date while the Revolution lost one of their best players of all time. Finally, the week was capped off by three rounds of success from the three local colleges in the area....

We are first to report the breaking news that Boston Bruins forward Marc Savard is being held out of the start of the Boston Bruins training camp due to post concussion syndrome.
Now, all summer long Savard has said on record how great he feels, plus he played in the 2010 playoffs and scored that glorious OT goal against the Philadelphia Flyers in his return game.
I am being told that both ...

How or where do I start this one? After the epic, disgusting collapse to the Flyers last year, it was up to Peter Chiarelli to reconstruct this potentially fragile organization to the point where the expectations of 2009/10 are met this year. Maybe that was the problem. This organization hasn't had expectations like last year's club did since newly named President, Cam Neely, was blazing up an...

The rumors just won't go away on this deal. I imagine that is because from a hockey standpoint it makes sense for both teams. Calgary would get the true #1 center they have been looking for for at least a decade. While the Boston Bruins would get one of the best shut down D in the league to load up their back end. Also their cap hits are pretty much identical.
I won't speak too much on the Bost...

The NHL, as most know, has nullified the contract of star winger Ilya Kovalchuk for circumvention of the salary cap and he has now become an unrestricted free agent and is able to sign anywhere he pleases.
According to sources across the NHL globe the NHL is apparently investigating all other contracts with similar type contracts including the likes of Chris Pronger, Roberto Luongo, Marc Savard...
